Since its publication in 1955, the WHO Monograph, Infant Nutrition in the Subtropics and Tropics by Derrick Jelliffe, has been indispensable reading and reference for persons dealing with pediatric problems in the developing areas of the world. Its review of infant feeding practices in tile subtropics and tropics was unique, and its description of nutritional diseases among young children in these areas was concise and reliable. The chapters on improving infant feeding, preventing nutritional disease, and introducing nutrition education were by far the best published guidelines available.
